Welcome to Intuitive Astrology with Molly McCord.

Thank you so much for joining me today.

As in today's podcast, we're going to discuss the energies of Venus in Leo and her retrograde journey,

which is actually quite big and profound as she is going to make multiple connections to outer planets.

And there is a lot happening during the Venus in Leo time period, which actually begins

June 5th and will end October 10th. She spends four months in an astrological sign when she moves

through her retrograde. And this particular retrograde is doing some very deep reprogramming,

very much shifting something that you want, that you desire, that you're attracted to. Venus and Leo

is working with our heart's desires. So let's break this down for a minute. Venus is about how we

are showing up in the world world loving ourselves, accepting ourselves.

It's based on our own innate self-worth and personal value, and then how we exude that in the

world, how we create from that place. Venus then creates something that she loves and enjoys

that is deeply connected to her own self-worth

frequency. So this is about looking at what you create, experience, and also how you receive

in regards to that self-worth frequency. Venus is connected with our creativity, our personal confidence,

how we feel worthy of interacting and showing up in connections. She is about all relationships

in our lives. So typically we think of Venus being connected to partnerships and love relationships.

And yes, that's very true, especially with Venus and Leo. But she's also about friendships,

connections with your siblings and with other people in your world, in your life. She's about

how you get along with others, how you get along with your coworkers and acquaintances.

Venus also relates to financial matters and money.

So again, this energy thread goes back to your own ability to value your energy,
